An arrest affidavit filed in April shows that Biddle had used an account on X (@TyrantKiller76) to make these threats, which tipped off the U.S. Secret Service.

“Biddle is known to have made antisemitic statements and radical threats of violence under the guise of protecting the Constitution,” the release reads. “He has also expressed hostility toward law enforcement.”

Per the affidavit, some of his posts read as follows:

“@realDonaldTrump Shut up before you end up like Kennedy you (expletive) Jews worshipping tyrant. You’re a (expletive) disgrace & a liar. #votersremorse”

“Do I have to (expletive) kill someone to get attention? Hellooooooooo? Anybody gonna (expletive) help me water the tree of liberty or not? I’m so god damn sick of my government betraying me. I’d rather die fighting for what I believe in, all of you fake Patriots make me sick.”

Police said that a federal warrant was issued for Biddle’s arrest, and he was eventually found around 1:20 p.m. on Thursday at the park near 440 N. Nova Road.

“We have absolutely no tolerance for threats of violence in our city,” Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said. “No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship, neighborhood, or community, and we will act swiftly to hold offenders accountable.”

Biddle now faces charges of written threats to kill and being a fugitive from justice. He is held without bond.
